# Screen Translator
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This software allows you to translate any text on screen.
|
|
Basically it is a combination of screen capture, OCR and translation tools.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
**Windows**: download archive from [github releases](https://github.com/OneMoreGres/ScreenTranslator/releases) page, extract it and run `.exe` file.
|
|
|
|
If the app fails to start with missing dll's error then install `vs_redist*.exe` from the release archive.
|
|
If you have any update errors related to SSL/TLS you should also install or repair `vcredist 2010` (from the Microsoft website).
|
|
|
|
**Linux**: download `.AppImage` file from [github releases](https://github.com/OneMoreGres/ScreenTranslator/releases), make executable (`chmod +x <file>`) and run it.
|
|
|
|
**OS X**: currently not supported.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Start the app, open the updates page of the settings window
|
|
and install required recognition languages, translators and, optionally,
|
|
hunspell dictionaries.
|
|
|
|
After languages/translators installation set default recognition and
|
|
translation languages, enable some (or all) translators
|
|
and the `translate text` setting if needed.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Run program (note that it doesn't have main window).
|
|
2. Press capture hotkey.
|
|
3. Select region on screen. Customize it if needed.
|
|
4. Get translation of recognized text.
|
|
5. Check for updates if something is not working.
